Link Properties

Properties of a hypertext connection to a resource.

The Link control is supported for these platforms:

Apple iOS
Android
BlackBerry
Windows Mobile Professional

Limitations of the Link control include:

On the iOS platform, you cannot return to the Hybrid App once you switch to a different application. For example, if you click the link to send an e-mail message, you cannot return to the previously open Hybrid App; you must relaunch it.
On the iOS simulator, clicking the Mailto link has no effect since there is no e-mail client on the simulator.
